What are SAP Calculations?
SAP stands for ‘Standard Assessment Procedure’, it is the government-approved methodology used to assess the energy performance of new buildings, extensions, and conversions. It is a key requirement for Building Regulations compliance (Part L) in the UK and determines the building’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating.
SAP calculations are based on a building’s structure, heating and hot water systems, lighting, and renewable energy systems. They produce a score between 1 and 100, with 100 being the most energy efficient. A higher score indicates lower fuel costs and lower carbon dioxide emissions.
When are SAP Calculations needed?
SAP Calculations are used for the following reasons.
Demonstrate Compliance: They ensure new, converted and extended homes meet Part L (Fuel and Power) of the Building Regulations.
Generate Reports: The SAP Calculation software is used to generate reports. These include BREL Reports for new builds, SAP Compliance Reports for conversions & extensions and Energy Performance Certificates for new builds and conversions.
Identify Energy Consumption: Determine how much energy a property will use annually that can assist in energy efficiency and reduction in energy bills.
Calculate Carbon Emissions: Estimate the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) a development will emit annually to be included within an Energy and Sustainability Statement. See our Energy Statement page for more information.
What is the process?
- Submit Architectural Plans – Our SAP assessor will use your building plans to calculate the expected energy performance.
- Receive the SAP Compliance Report – Our SAP Assessor will provide you with your As Designed Compliance Reports together with your Predicted Energy Performance.
- Make Adjustments (if needed) – If the building doesn’t meet compliance, adjustments can be suggested to improve performance.
- Achieve Compliance and Approval – Submit your Reports to Building Control for approval
- Complete your sign off – Once your project is complete/built, you will receive your As Built Compliance Reports and EPC (where applicable) for sign Building Control off.
How quickly can I have my SAP Calculations?
It depends on the size of your property however; on average it takes about 3 days to complete. We will require a full set of plans and building details to start the process.
